What Is Design and Build?
A design/build company fully explores your goals with you and sees that those goals are met in the final product. The beauty of the design/build relationship is that the builder can help you visualize your drawings. This system prevents a disconnect from occurring between the designer or architect and the builder. One company manages the process from start to finish.
Many homeowners prefer a contractor who can perform both the design and the building to avoid the inconvenience of dealing with multiple people. That's what design/build is all about. They know that they want a streamlined remodeling process since their lives are busy and they don't have time to keep track of various contractors and a designer.
According to Design/Build Business Magazine "the design/build model comes in handy for homeowners for many reasons. But in particular, working couples, who don't have time to juggle who's doing what, prefer the idea of working one-on-one with someone and developing a relationship." There is a personal time savings earned from this more efficient system. It creates a direct line of communication and helps prevent misunderstandings and delays. A third party can confuse issues and slow the job down. With one company managing the process from start to end the chances are that the overall experience will run more smoothly. In general, homeowners find that there's less anxiety and a more positive remodeling experience when dealing with one company.
